Falcon 9 is the most affordable launch system in history. It’s saved NASA billions through ISS cargo launches. And developing their crewed launches has been over a billion dollars cheaper than Boeing, and successfully launched years earlier

I think you mean to say that if you aren’t allowed to walk into anyone else’s home or business, and yell your opinions into their face, your rights to free speech have somehow been infringed. My analogy is far more accurate than your tortur

If you must have a native mobile app, you can download it from alternative stores. Or Parlour can just distribute as a web app. Businesses don’t have any right to force other businesses to carry their products.

Apple isn’t perfect, no one is. But it’s better than almost everyone else, including Boeing because it does one thing very well. It doesn’t ship products unless they meet a high bar. It never puts schedule first over product quality. Exampl
